Welcome Pie-eaters

Well the Premier League is back and today we welcome the pie-eaters - Wigan Athletic who I'm sure will provide a tougher test than many in the forums think.

Wiganers aren't called pie-eaters, because they consume more pies than anyone else, although it is the home of the world pie eating championship, latest winner, Neil Collier (23 seconds to consume the pie fully).


No, it's really about the General Strike, Wigan miners being starved back to work and having to eat humble pie.

So, to this afternoons game. Wigan are 7 games unbeaten, Roberto Martinez is a good manager and whenever I've seen them play, they pass the ball well, also Di Santo is a player who impresses me.

Not getting a win would be a surprise, but we should avoid complacency against the confident, unbeaten Wigan.

Let's hope we can overwhelm them by half time and rest a few players late on. My prediction 2-0 for City.
